I'm in the market and I would get an element for that kind of cash. Just to be different. It's brutally exxy, and while the live tracking options are getting better, I don't know anyone using it. At all.

Yeah, both Elemnt and Edge 820 are expensive, but no moreso than anything else cycling related I guess. I'm not wrapped with screen contrast of my Edge 800 during day, and I use maps/navigation a lot, although the unit has only ever dropped one ride over the many years I've owned it. I'm a bit worried the the screen size of the edge 820 might be a touch small for navigation without seeing one first.

The Element seems interesting, albeit large/ugly, and software/device connections are a not complete as yet. I was hoping to buy a new cycle computer prior to heading to Europe in August (I'd want to test for a least a week), but think I'll have to wait until I return to see where prices stabilize and bugs for both are ironed out...

I'm really liking the look of the 820, but it feels like Wahoo is shaking things up a bit more with a nicer user interface (purely IMO) than what Garmin typically does. The Garmin unit feels like a slight evolution of the same old thing.

Any of you guys tried the Elemnt in person? Display seems easier to read in sunlight too.

I bought it in Ribblecycles, they had a voucher of 50$ if you spend more than 500$ and it was 514$, so it was 464$ and free shipping.It comes with the handlebar mount/support and two mounts with elastic bands.
